“Round Up the Usual Suspects”

The second Anti-Asian attacker is immediately released. “My hands are tied” says judge.

Suspect Ricardo Hernandez, 32 — who faces three hate-crime charges in the attack on the unnamed cop on a Long Island City train platform around 5:30 p.m. Saturday — has at least 12 prior arrests under his belt.

At Hernandez’s arraignment over the attempted push onto the tracks, Queens Supreme Court Justice Louis Nock said the state’s bail-reform measures barred him from holding Hernandez in jail. 

“My hands are tied because under the new bail rules, I have absolutely no authority or power to set bail on this defendant for this alleged offense,” the judge said.

According to police, Hernandez confronted the undercover cop on the N train platform at 31st Street and 39th Avenue in Dutch Kills and tried to shove him onto the tracks.

“That’s why you people are getting beat up,” Hernandez allegedly snarled. “I got nothing to lose.

“I will f–k you up!” Hernandez added, according to cops. “This is my house.”

Both attacks involved black/ hispanics attacking Asian-American NYPD undercover agents, put on the streets as a bit of Kabuki theater: '‘message — we care” (snicker). The cops draw attacks, they arrest the attacker, then the thugs are released back on the street. This is how a “reimagined” criminal justice system operates.

Shoving a man towards the subway tracks while threatening him is both assault and battery, but under the New York Democrats’ new law, because the victim didn’t end up under the wheels of a train it’s no harm, no foul.

Here’s the first attack, which occurred April 9th:

The cop was patrolling at 33rd Street and 7th Avenue at around 4:30 p.m. when Juvian Rodriguez, 35, allegedly approached, The Post has learned.

Not knowing he was dealing with one of New York’s finest, Rodriguez began snarling, “Go back to China before you end up in a graveyard!”

“I’m gonna slap the holy piss out of you and stab you in the face,” Rodriguez allegedly continued. 

The undercover promptly alerted a precinct cop, who busted Rodriquez, an ex-con who according to sources has two dozen arrests on his rap sheet, including for narcotics and assault.

His last words to the undercover — before the cuffs went on — allegedly were, “I don’t give a f– if I go to jail.”

Mr. Rodriguez was right to be unconcerned; He was out within 12 hours

Because of last year’s state bail reform law, attacks that cause no injury are exempt from bail in New York — even if the victims were targeted for their race, gender, religion, disability or sexual orientation.

Previously, setting bail would have been left to the discretion of the judge.

“This is the revolving door justice system,” said Michael Alcazar, a retired NYPD detective who is now an adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

“The plain-clothes officers are out there doing their jobs to get the criminal element off the streets. But we hit this roadblock as usual, where we arrest them, charge them, and then in this case — despite a lengthy rap sheet — the suspect is free to roam,” he added.
